Posted by BJSo, Jon. How’s it feel to have delivered your first sermon? Thinking about trading your proposal hat for something taller and fancier? And is it true you’ve taken to wearing robes and vestments while working on proposals?

To those of you who attended ‘Church’ with us in Savannah, thank you so much for joining us. Jon and I are always amazed and flattered that there are so many of you in attendance at our sessions, especially the ones, like this one, that are scheduled on the last morning of the conference. The pews were literally packed. Several people told us they stayed over just to attend our session. This is, as you can imagine, very flattering. We’ve also heard that some of our fellow presenters refuse to accept a time slot at the same time as ours because they want to be able to attend our session. This too is extremely flattering.

As is probably quite obvious, Jon and I do have a good time with the presentations, both delivering and developing them. And it’s the participation and welcome that our presentations receive from you that make us want to do the next one, and the next one.
